NOTE:
SSSU version 4 is required for HP Command View EVA 4.0 and later. For more information on using
SSSU, refer to the
HP StorageWorks Storage System Scripting Utility reference
, which can be downloaded
from the following web site:
Click Support & Documentation.
1.
Run SSSU on the platform and operating system of your choice.
2.
Enter SELECT MANAGER and select the management server.
3.
Enter SHOW SYSTEM to determine which storage systems are managed by this instance of HP
Command View EVA.
4.
Enter SELECT SYSTEM to select the appropriate storage system from which to collect configuration
data.
5.
Enter CAPTURE CONFIGURATION, specifying the full path and filename of the output files for
the configuration data.
The configuration data is stored in a series of from one to five files, which are SSSU scripts. The
file names begin with the name you choose, with the restore step appended. For example,
if you specify a file name of LargeEVA.txt, the resultant configuration files would be
LargeEVA_Step1A.txt, LargeEVA_Step1B
, etc.
The contents of the configuration files can be viewed with a text editor.
NOTE:
If the storage system contains disk drives of different capacities, the SSSU procedures used do not
guarantee that disk drives of the same capacity will be exclusively added to the same disk group. The use
of this method does not ensure that there will be only disk drives of the same capacity in each disk group.
The following examples illustrate how to save and restore the storage system configuration data using
SSSU on a Windows host.
Example 1. Saving configuration data using SSSU on a Windows Host
Run SSSU from a DOS Command Window on the SMA, a Windows Workstation or a Windows Server
that can access the SMA by TCP/IP or the management host running Command View.
1.
Click Run on the Window Start menu.
2.
Enter cmd in the Open field to open the DOS Command Window.
3.
Change to the directory (CD) in which you have installed SSSU. For example, C:> cd \SSSUDir
4.
Enter SSSU to run the application.
5.
Enter SELECT MANAGER
.
6.
Enter SHOW SYSTEM to display the EVA storage systems managed by the SMA or Windows Host.
7.
Enter SELECT SYSTEM
The storage system name is case sensitive. If there are spaces between the letters in the name, quotes
must enclose the name. For example, SELECT SYSTEM “Large EVA”.
8.
Enter CAPTURE CONFIGURATION
location where the configuration files will be saved, and filename is the name used as the prefix for
the configurations files. For example, CAPTURE CONFIGURATION c:\EVAConfig\LargeEVA
